Maybe not completely—but some proactive work can help identify when PIM problems are likely
Interference from passive intermodulation often doesn’t show up as a major issue until a new site starts taking on significant amounts of traffic, or perhaps when a popular new device adds...
PIM is an escalating issue in 5G midband networks deployed in TDD spectrum
Passive intermodulation is interference that is generated when two or more simultaneous signals interact in a nonlinear environment, where passive components (as opposed to transmitting ones) can cause new, unwanted signal noise...
Passive intermodulation (PIM) is interference that is generated when two or more simultaneous signals interact in a nonlinear environment, where passive components (as opposed to transmitting ones) can cause new, unwanted signal noise to be generated that impacts the performance of the RF system.
Why...
The companies that build and operate wireless networks are not the only businesses poised to profit as carriers densify their networks with small cells. As network nodes multiply, a number of businesses that support the carriers are seeing new opportunities.

Wireless carriers...
Network densification and small cells are on the roadmaps of every major U.S. operator, but those maps will need to include some hiding places along the way. Small cell concealment is a growing part of the wireless industry as Americans want full bars and...
